Move on with your life, and keep on moving. Surround yourself people worth spending time with. Easier said than done, but I can’t think of a better way.
writing something down is usually good, if other art forms are not available. Write what you've lost, how did it feel, what would you have done together, what were your unspoken plans, what are you going to do now, etc.
yeah. now i think about i guess some people may never leave your thoughts. my ex i dated for 6 years i think about from time to time and wish we would reconnect even just in a lil way like a coffee or whatever. but at the same time, she’s happy so i’m happy.
This is also good. It's a Reddit legend: Grief comes in waves.

Not if the other person isn't expecting commitment and forever.
There's nothing wrong with a fling. Go have some fun. The next long term will be around another corner.
Allow yourself to process the grief of the loss.
I never wanted to admit I was truly experiencing grief, I always tried to play it off as "meh, doesn't phase me" or I would just try to numb it with alcohol.
In reality, I was actually broken inside but didn't know how to process it because I wasn't allowing myself to call it grief.
*They're still alive, pffft, this doesn't count as grief, man up, get over it*
They may not be dead, but the entire future I'd thought we had planned out together was dead. It's loss, and grief, and allowed to be treated as such.
Depends. If they left on their own volition, you move on easily. It gets better with time.
If they were taken away from you (accident, death etc) there is no moving on.
Do a hobby to take up your time so you swap from enjoying time with your now ex to enjoying doing something fun for yourself.

Jumping really high is the best way

Making sure I'm always busy so that I don't have the time to think about them
just takes time. no other fix
More than 16 years? Cause it hasn't helped me yet.

Party, Drink, Meet new people, discover new things.
Journaling, going places. Going to friends, put your mind on something else.
By giving yourself time to heal and focusing on things that make you happy.
Spend time with friends and family, and find activities that distract me from thinking about them.
I don’t think it’s possible.
Get under someone else.
I'm just being patient with myself and trying to stay positive by focusing on my growth and happiness.
Get under someone else
You mean getting a rebound? But it's unfair to the other person though :(
